Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Not what he was trying to say at all. Somehow, I think he and everyone here knew you'd respond like this, though.

You probably haven't noticed, but the USA never loses at this level. If Canada is beating us then something is seriously wrong.

US hasn't won this event since 05, best we've done since then is a bronze in 09, and this is the first time we've ever lost 2 games in the event. I know this isn't exactly the most elite event in the world, but USA Basketball needs to get it together.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Which is dumb, considering they have no injury history to speak of. They could just as easily have been hurt in all these pointless summer league games no one cares about.

Summer League develops them as their NBA team wishes and lets the players get coaching from someone actually on their staff. Pro-Am games such as this only pose a risk. I would do the same thing if I were an NBA GM, regardless of a player's injury history. If I invested a top 5 pick, that guaranteed money, and put myself out there to draft this kid, I'm not going to take any chances with his health.
